• Comprehensive examinations must be taken in the Core and the Cyber Security fields. The comprehensive examination committee for each candidate will consist of the Core advisor, one advisor from the Cyber Security field and a third faculty member from either department. The examinations will be graded credit/no credit.
    • An oral examination by the student's committee follows successful completion of the written examination. The oral examination is open for public attendance, but not participation. Should the candidate fail one or more written or oral examination areas, the entire oral or written examination may be repeated one time after remedial course work or study is completed. The scope and deadline for completion of this remedial work will be determined by the student's examination committee at a post-examination conference.
